If it's recessive you might get some 4 legged grandchicks and you're off to the races
1 u/Jayer244 Jul 21 '21 Yeah. But that would require incest between the 2nd gen chickens 2 u/TesseractToo Jul 21 '21 They do that all the time with animal breeding lol, purebred is just an euphemism for "critter created for special traits using incest" :D 1 u/Jayer244 Jul 21 '21 Yeah sure. But if this is evolving into a new species a small genepool will definetly be a bad for the survival chances 1 u/TesseractToo Jul 21 '21 It always is. But it's artificial selection so it has better chances then natural selection. Also if you look up 4 legged chickens on Google there are a more than you would think. I'm going to buy them all and start my 4 legged chicken farm!
